Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 0.5 cup Chicken or seafood stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 ounces Linguine or rice (optional, for serving)
• 1 Lemon wedges (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the red chili flakes, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken or seafood stock, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, and let the sauce simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

While the sauce is simmering, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine or prepare rice according to package directions if serving with a starch. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh basil and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve the Shrimp Diablo hot over prepared linguine or rice. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if desired.
